MVMT / Yu Han Shopping for Dad can be frustrating. When it comes to gifting, your conversation probably goes something like this: "Dad, what do you want for Christmas?" "I don't know. You don't have to get me anything."

If you're drawing a blank on what to buy the father figure in you life this holiday season, we found 26 presents to help inspire you. They run the gamut, from premium Bluetooth headphones to fine bottles of bourbon, from old-school turntables to sports jerseys. Scroll through and see if anything catches your eye.

A leather wallet

Bellroy

Wallets are one of those items that get a lot of wear and not a lot of care in return. There's a good chance Dad's is coming apart at its seams or bulging uncomfortably from his back pocket. Or, maybe it's in some other sad state of affairs.If that's the case, the note sleeve wallet from Bellroy will be a welcome improvement to whatever his back pocket currently holds.Bellroy Leather Note Sleeve Wallet, $89.95

A bottle cutter

Amazon

A great gift for Dads who like DIY projects. Through a simple process, he can cut his favorite beer and wine bottles in half and turn them into unique drinking glasses, vases, or even candles. Kinkajou Bottle Cutter, $49.99

A good book

Amazon

If Dad enjoyed "The Martian," pick him up a copy of Sylvain Neuvel's debut, "Sleeping Giants." It's a fun, fast-paced novel about man's hopes for the future. Alternatively, if Dad's been looking to make the switch to an e-reader, you can buy him a Kindle Paperwhite and a couple of titles to get him started."Sleeping Giants" by Sylvain Neuvel, $16.69

A new everyday watch

MVMT

The more you're willing to spend on a watch, the more impressive it will be. That's just common sense. If you have some cash to burn, but not a ton, MVMT's timepieces look great on a wrist. MVMT Gun Metal/Sandstone Leather Watch, $135

A golf-tracking system

Amazon

The Arccos Golf Tracking System is one of the few fusions of golf and technology that can give genuine insights for your game. It's a set of 14 light and tiny sensors that twist individually into the top of your clubs. You link each one to your phone (or Apple Watch) over Bluetooth 4.0, make sure phone's GPS is on, then play your round. If Dad's a serious golfer or an enthusiast looking to knock a few strokes off his handicap, this is an easy way for him to see where there's room for improvement.

A personal assistant

Amazon

There's an ever-so-slight learning curve in figuring out what Amazon Echo's Alexa virtual assistant can and can't do, but once that's passed, it can forecast the weather, read an audiobook, order a pizza, tell Dad jokes, or any number of things your father should find fascinating.Amazon Echo, $139.99

Not only an eye-catching addition to his home bar cart, this is seriously impressive bourbon — with classic notes of rich caramel, black pepper, and smooth wheat. FEW Spirits Bourbon Whiskey, $60

A set of socks

Nice Laundry

For the Dad who's stylish from the ankle down, these socks from Nice Laundry will be a welcome addition to his wardrobe.

A better pair of jeans

Mott & Bow

No closet — not even Dad's — is complete without a couple pairs of jeans. Denim startup Mott & Bow lacks the name recognition of more established labels you've come to trust, but it has gained a following among men for its "meticulously handcrafted" and "ridiculously comfortable" designer-quality jeans. We're fans. And we bet Dad will be, too. Mott & Bow Straight-Fit Wooster Jeans, $118
